Good stuff. Good luck guys.
RedCafe - Minute by Minute
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
yep, jgray, Flawless and solius makes three , nice one lads ... one of ye bang up a thread in the matchday ... Jgray, you were first in can you do it? or ye can decide yerselves by PM ... good luck
Done.
I enjoyed doing it actually, and if it was of use to folk following the game, I'd he happy to do it again. Think it's best as many people as possible have a crack first before someone goes again though, then we can learn from everybodies takes on how to do it
A little tip those going tomorrow might like to use. Before the game started, I coded a couple of lines into notebook. The instant United or West Brom scored, I'd copy that code and paste it and post instantly, so virtually as soon as the goal was scored, people would know. Then I'd type my descripton of what happened. The code, if you look at the thread, was much larger and made it immediately obvious to the casual reader a goal had just been scored. Bolded 'goal', and coloured the goalscorers team name according to their kit. United were red, West Brom who obviously didn't get used were dark blue

Cheers mate will definitely be nicking that idea.
Top effort again tonight. I was at work for the start of the game and it was a great way to follow the match.
I enjoyed it, hope it helped people.
Well done guys, Really was good.
Next time there is a game not on tv I will be refreshing the page every minute!
Cheers guys, good job.

Its good to see its appreciated and seems to do the job intended
I guess even if it helps out a handful of members then theres no reason not for it to continue - unless its too much hassle to mod.

I think it read really well ... nice work boys ... bit of a teething problem with the thread title ... but we can just add MbM prefix to the fixture and it will work ...
I think as long as someone is willing to do it there's no reason for it not to go ahead ... especially if folk enjoy doing it ...
so get the PM's in to volunteer!
again, nice work lads

Yeah we had a few posting in it instead of the other one. I got it changed halfway through the match though.
yep, nice one ... saw that ... we know in future
Where does this "minute by minute" report happen? I know it'll come in handy in some matches for me.
Matchday forum, there was a separate post for it this evening.
Well done Sol, jgraham and Flawless, you did well tonight.
I haven't read it but I hope you mentioned that United outsang Celtic

Too obvious! I was typing the chants down! Loved "Are you Rangers in Disguise?".
I'd definitely be up for doing it again, cos I was on a stream, I was slower than the others but it was all good. Will send you a pm moses when I think I can do one.
Cheers elvis
I did enjoy doing it, and will definately be happy to do one again.
Are there any thoughts frm the mods/admin on if this seems to be working well so far?
Was watch the game in a pub, but read through it this morning. Seems like a good job lads.
I noticed we had no minute by minute for the Everton match, i take it that was due to no volunteers?
Is there anybody in to do the West Ham game on Wednesday? or has this died on its arse.
Its not on the tv so unfortunately i can't do it.

I think i'll be doing West Ham. That was supposed to be my first game, before Smurf dropped out last minute like
I'll drop Moses a PM and see what's happening.

Work commitments!
Well i'll be doing West Ham. Not sure if anyone else is.
I'll do West Ham I think (again dependent on me getting a stream). Will PM Moses. Think it would be good to do it on a weeknight especially as lot more people are at work then, and this (and the Beeb) is the only way they can keep up to date.
Good stuff, this thing needs at least 2 people really.
Good luck guys - I'll be working (with no computer access) until 10 but I hope you have a good one.
With the game not being televised, and my frustration with streams ever growing, I opted to watched the televised London derby last night - cracking game too! But this site has come into its own. Not only can I now download high quality highlights of the game, but I was able to follow the minute by minute commentary on here. Flawless, UAE, it was absolutely excellent. So much better having it done by United fans, and with more than one person doing it, it keeps you right up to date with whats going on
Do you still need volunteers for the Hull game at the weekend? i'll step up if so

Agreed, its certainly a good option for those who can't see the games for one reason or another.
Great work last night by UAE and Flawless.
I think my next game is the Celtic one next week, which as it stands I am still able to do.
uae is down for Hull (still up for it) ... and i can add you too brad ? PM me in case I don't stumble back in here
I am quite liking this idea atm, although there is more passion in the normal Match day threads.
One mans passion is clearly another mans bunch of arses acting like 5 year olds...
Top work again, lads.
Bit annoyed I didn't get to follow your efforts live (was out with work) because I've just read through the thread and it's a cracking effort.

So its a great idea you's boys doing this. I think it was your idea Pogue, I had me doubts that maybe it would be a right pain in the ass for ya but obviously not............ yet
Good luck with this thread & fair play to all you young John Motsons

Ta very much RHD!
Who's doing Celtic then? (i won't be able to)
I think i originally said i could do it, that though is doubtful at the minute. Hopefully i can arrange it so i'll be home ready to do it.
If we get a few volunteers then i'll step aside, but should we struggle then i'll do my best to do it.

just you at the moment man, but don't feel any pressure , it's only fun if it's fun ... we'll all survive ...
As i thought i'm not going to be able to do this tonight, but would find it extremely useful if somebody could?
No Sky here

I suppose I can do it.
